Today was really cold so i had to help the students take off all their winter gear, once the students were ready and sitting at the circle we had to get their library books ready and organize who had theirs and who forgot thiers.Once we were ready we went to library and this took awhile because some of the students had to figure out which books they already had out, also when the other students are still trying to choose books the students who are done start to get bored and get restless and I have to keep them quiet and in line. When we got back to the classroom Mrs. MacDonald explained their seat work, today they had to write two sentences about Easter and draw a picture. Many students needed help with idea about what to write and how to write it out. This took a long time because some students were really struggling, but I had fun helping them and all the students finished before the bell for snack time. Before snack time I had to hand out the drinks to the table for cookie and milk day. It was my job like every cookie and milk day to open the drinks and place a straw in the drinks.

After the break I cleaned the room and stacked the chairs. Since the students did not have much time for play time because seat work took them so long they had the choice to go be apart of movie day or stay in the class and have more play time. Half the class wanted to go watch the movie so I went over with them and had to stay with them to make sure they acted good, some of the girls during the Easter movie got bored so I took them back to class to play.

Finally the movie was over and the rest of the students and I made our way back to the room. When we got back Mrs. MacDonald had work out for me to finish I had to stamp the date on the page they worked on in their writing books today. I also had to mark work they did this week. Then at the end of the day the day care students made their way out and left behind some hats and mitts so I had to run them over to them day care, this took a long time because I had to keep going back and forth because we kept finding new things in the class room, finally they got all their gear.
